With the Jolla tablet being manufactured in China, the obvious Russian ties of coderus, and Dave999's ties to the CIA (btw, thank you for your service), should I, as an American citizen, worry?
As s consciencious American citizen, you probably should always worry. Actually regardless of citizenship, it's best to be at least a little paranoid.
But as far as the tablet goes, no worries: the CIA will be watching your PayPal account to see if you get your refund before Dave. They've got a pool going at Langley, I hear.
As for me, I just keep filing FOIA's instad of checking my email.
American citizens should always be worried and a little bit paranoid aspecially when it comes taking a trip(no mushrooms) to the middle east.
I always think that Americans should travel and listen more than they talk; take in the culture and not try to change it. Adapt to their surroundings, no matter where they go.
Sadly, that's rarely the case. I've been that American that ignored other Americans whilst traveling. They can get annoying.
And the Middle East? Been there, had no problems with the people, culture, loved the food, received respect back that I had given. All but that one time I had an AK-47 pointed at me while drinking tea. Later on, same person joined me for tea and we chatted it up and he apologized - thought I was a fed agent.
...how do I get out of this passive aggressive state?
I question how truly important any of this Jolla Tablet stuff is to you. After seeing the input from others, it seems as if the flaws that are inherent in most mobile operating systems are also in Sailfish. There's some workflow issues that need to be worked out, some hardware issues (ex. battery life for instance) that dint the overall experience and so forth. Simply stated, there's still more work to make the Jolla Tablet the best device in comparison to user goals, wants and needs.
Not having an imperfect device... does that really affect you in the same amount of protest you've displayed in this thread
That's my one true question for you. How to break out of being passive-aggressive? Heck if I know.
